Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2012-2013] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 4

Now I'm really confused. Not only is Mukou Mizu-kun absent from the Issue 11 preview, but the front cover too. I thought all oneshots were supposed to be given prior notice on the preview, or at least placed somewhere on the front cover, but not just stuck on the ToC at random.

Was it a last-minute decision to include Mukou Mizu-kun here?

Soon to be retiring from animanga for good, with one last important message.

I heard that Sorachi's recovering from the norovirus he had, pissing blood, and has a flu on top of all of that. Maybe that's why Gintama was yanked at the last minute, cause with all of that shit going on, I can only imagine that the stock he has built up is getting low if it isn't already nearly rock bottom. (I can sympathize since I've been in the hospital, had the flu and been having nasty migraines all within the last week.)

....or he needed more time to work on the color page. I wonder what's the occasion? Considering Gin didn't get one for it's movie announcement OR it's seventh anniversery, I wonder what makes the next chapter suddenly worth giving a color page to?

As for Mukoumizu-kun:
Yupp, there's two one-shots this issue. (Explicitly says so on the author column of the TOC.) One is the version that had been an entry for the Akatsuka Prize, the other is a brand new story.

And please could we call it "Mukoumizu" without the blank in between. That's a common family name in Japan.^^
